How do I get Facetime to work on my iPod?

I have an iPod 4G w/iOS 6.1.5
My friend has a new iPhone & we're trying to connect on Facetime. I've never used Facetime before. I do have a Facetime icon on my iPod. My friend has connected to someone with an iPad. What do I need to do to make it work? Do I need to put my cell# or landline# into Facetime somehow?

Thanks again, IIIaass.
That answers my doubts about whether or not it's a 4G w/mic. There does seem to be a tiny hole next to the rear camera lens. (I thought the mic would be on the front)
So, it must be something my friend & I are doing wrong. My email & my Apple ID were already set in Facetime settings, so I'm guessing that's not it.
I'm wondering if it has to do with my friend using her iPhone # & me using an email addy?
Last night, I was trying the 'Messages' feature on my iPod(green icon w/the text bubble) & I noticed I couldn't send a message to my friend & the reason listed was because her email address isn't registered w/Apple. (?)
I'm confused, because I thought she said she had used that feature w/others, so I will ask her later.
I'm going to check out the Troubleshooting link some more & see if anything helps.

How do you get FaceTime to work right?

I am having some serious issues with FaceTime. I bought a MacBook Pro a little over a year ago and it is my first MacBook. I am currently deployed to Afghanistan and I am trying to use FaceTime and I can see and hear the person I am contacting but on their end it just shows me as a frozen turd and no sound. I have managed to get it to work a couple times but overall it never works. I have a roommate and he has the Ipad and he can use FaceTime just fine on his, so it is not the internet. Is there a way to delete FaceTime and reinstall it? Or is there another way to get this to work and I am not understanding it?

Have you considered upgrading the operating system on your Mac?
The newer versions of OS X include a newer version of Facetime with the operating system.

How do you get FaceTime to work on my MacBook Air?

I got my MacBook Air yesterday, I set up an Apple I.D, and I logged into FaceTime. It kept saying that it was was still "Sigining in..." so I pressed cancel and made a new I.D. It STILL doesn't work! My mom even used her Apple I.D that she uses for her FaceTime and that didn't even work. What am I supposed to do??

How can I get autoplay to work again? ipod touch 5th gen, ios7.1.1, windows vista and 7

I've had this ipod for almost a year now and a few months ago my autoplay suddenly stopped working on both my laptop and my desktop. Laptop runs Vista (and is where my ipod is synced) and the desktop is Windoes 7. Since it still syncs fine I've been ignoring the problem but now i've got too many photos and need to make room. I've tied uploading through the dropbox app but there's a LOT of photos so it takes too long and the app crashes often. Even when autoplay would sometimes not work, the ipod would still show up in My Computer. Now there's noting. My computer isn't even recognizing it as a device. Only iTunes still notices it. I've gone through the support FAQ already but none of it works/applies. My ipod recieves a charge and the "Do you wan't to trust this computer?" dalouge shows up when it's unlocked. It sees the competer at the least.
Deleting photos is NOT an option since they have no backup. This also means I'm trying to avoid reseting to factory settings UNLESS the backup of my ipod includes all my photos. I'm not sure if it does or not and there's thousands of photos at risk so I' not making that move unless I know for sure that they're safe.
I would really appreciate any advice anyone has.

Try on another computer. Just do not sync with that computer.

My iPod was working fine and then my oldest son put in a flash drive to download some music and now my iPod will not connect to iTunes.
Doublechecking something. Are you still back at SP2 for your XP? Or do you have SP3 in place?

Your not weird, your a audiophile.

Good sound costs money. And with a 5.1 system your usually doing surround sound decoding for BlueRay movies etc. for home theater purposes.
The PC 5.1 surround sound systems require a audio card in a PC tower and mainly used for playing 3D games so that won't work for any Mac at all. So don't buy a PC 5.1 surround sound system for your Mac.
Harmon Kardon has the GoPlay, it's a portable stereo with awesome sound (not as good as their theater systems) and you can hook up a analog male/male stereo mini cable to it from the Mac.
$200 and it has a iPod dock and also takes like 8 batteries so it's portable.

There is also the Bose Wave clock/radio, you will need a stereo mini to RCA break out cable for that.

The GoPlay has much better sound than the Bose, I think the Bose are overpriced.

Error Message regarding Facetime: I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

I am getting this error message when I try to open Facetime on my iMac desktop "This beta version of FaceTime has expired." What does it mean? How do I get it to work again?

The Beta version of Facetime is a free test/trial version that Apple placed on some computers in the past. It has expired -- to get a working Facetime version back you must go to the App store and purchase "Facetime for Mac" which will cost you 99 cents.
